FAQ:
Q: What is a cobot?
A: A cobot, short for ‘collaborative robot,’ is an advanced robotic system designed to work in collaboration with human operators.
Universal Robots seeks to reassure potential customers that despite the accelerated production, there is still ample capacity to fulfill UR20 orders in Q4. In a bid to encourage manufacturers to leverage year-end tax incentives, Universal Robots encourages businesses to promptly place their cobot orders.
“We understand the urgency for businesses to optimize their operations and take advantage of available tax incentives,” stated Bryan Bird, President of Americas at Universal Robots. “By accelerating UR20 production ahead of schedule, our aim is to ensure that our customers can harness the benefits of collaborative automation without any delays.”
The success of the UR20 cobot is further highlighted by the positive experiences of industry-leading companies like Bob’s Red Mill and Ornua. Bob’s Red Mill, a renowned whole grain manufacturer, had been searching for years for a collaborative robot that could fulfill the speed, payload, and reach requirements for palletizing tasks. The release of the UR20 cobot finally provided them with a solution that met their needs, leading to increased productivity and the freeing up of four operators.
Ornua Ingredients, a division of the Irish Dairy co-operative Ornua, has also successfully integrated the UR20 cobot into its labor-intensive end-of-line palletizing operations. The cobot’s exceptional capacity and reach proved to be a perfect match for the delicate products handled, resulting in significant gains in consistency and productivity.
Manufacturers interested in incorporating the UR20 cobot into their operations are urged to contact Universal Robots to discuss their unique automation needs and explore the wide range of possibilities offered by this groundbreaking technology.
